hospitals can take to combat
antibiotic overuse and reduce
use by 11.4%.

Antimicrobial/Antibiotic Drug Case Study
Study of 180 U.S. Hospitals on Antibiotic Over-Prescribing Impact Reveals Steps
U.S. Hospitals Can Take to Combat Antibiotic Overuse and Reduce Use by 11.4%
THE CHALLENGE:
Though antibiotics have transformed the practice of medicine, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warn that 20-50% of all antibiotics
prescribed in U.S. acute care hospitals are either unnecessary or inappropriate.
The misuse of antibiotics has contributed to the growing problem of antibiotic
resistance, which has become one of the most serious threats to public health.1
More than two million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant organisms
each year, resulting in approximately 23,000 deaths annually.2 According to
the World Health Organization (WHO), antimicrobial resistance threatens the
effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections
caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi.3
In response, the Joint Commission published a new Medication Management
(MM) standard for hospitals, critical access hospitals and nursing care centers,
which became effective January 1, 2017, emphasizing the need to reduce
use of inappropriate antimicrobials in all health care settings, and requiring
hospitals to have an antimicrobial stewardship program that is based on
current scientific literature.4
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed new rule
(June 2016) requires hospitals to reduce antibiotic use in order to participate
in Medicare or Medicaid and states that hospitals must appoint designated,
qualified leaders for those antimicrobial stewardship programs.5,6
To support hospital and health systems in meeting the Joint Commission
standard and the CMS proposed rule, Comprehensive Pharmacy Services
(CPS) launched the first of its kind Antimicrobial Stewardship Solution,
based on an expansive study of 180 U.S. hospitals through its Antimicrobial
Stewardship Pilot Program.
